Sounds of Hawaii (Recording Studio)

[GeckoGeek]

Spent some time working on a Christmas present, dubbing a old LP to CD and cleaning it up. It made me wonder what happen to the recording studio/record label "Sounds of Hawaii" that used to be on Young street. More importantly, what' happened to their master tapes.

Thought I'd throw the question out there.

Last I knew, the masters were owned by the Lehua & Mahalo labels, now part of Surfside Hawai`i. This is the contact info I had for them a few years ago:

Surfside Hawai`i, Inc.
P.O. Box 1207
Honolulu, Hawai`i 96807-1207

They put out a lot of Hui `Ohana, Melveen Leed and Jerry Byrd, among others, and have reissued quite a few albums on CD (50 or so).

Perfect! That got me going the right direction. I found the website at www.surfside-hawaii.com.

Thanks.

Rescue the master tapes.
Tropical climates do not favor their survival.

Unfortunately, they say they don't have them - at least not the ones I'm looking for.
